Currently in the process of trying to get into backpacking, looking at different potential essential gears. I came across this small brand Hangtight gear which makes top quilts for hammock camping. While I largely want to get into camping and sleeping on the ground, I was drawn in by the affordability of these quilts and am wondering if anyone has any experience using them. I'm looking at specifically the "HeatSeeker 20 degree" for temperatures down to maybe just below freezing, which has an option to add "ground dweller" straps for a sleeping pad. Would this be a good intro quilt or are hammock quilts built differently to the point where it wouldn't be a great choice if I want to primarily camp traditionally on the ground? Any words of advice are useful, thanks. also disclaimer I know these aren't incredibly UL, coming in at over 700g but it seems this subreddit knows a lot about gear in general. Thanks.
